These busy bees are dressed and ready for the domestic life!....
The other day while out shopping...I spotted these cute little bees with heart wings...the bees are made from metal and painted....
I thought to myself....these would be really cute to add to the summer decor in my family room....
There was only one thing they needed to fit right into the style of my little cottage....
Aprons!....Busy bees should wear aprons don't you think? I wear one when I'm busy!
So I brought them home....
And made an apron for each and every one.....
And turned them into a whole hive of "worker bees".
I kept one for myself....
And packaged up the rest to give away to some of my busy bee quilting friends that I met up with yesterday....
Sherri from A Quilting Life came in from out of state and we had a fun day shopping together along with her cutie pie SIL Leann, and 3 of my BFF's Susann, Rae Ann and Nanette.
I put each of them in a little cellophane bag...
And tied it up with tule.
I used my blog cards as a tag. 
I had these cards made up last year when I first started blogging.
I had them made into the convenient size of a bookmark....
When they are folded in half....they become a double sided business card!
For those who may not know...this is a picture of me under the hairdryer when I was 3 years old. The picture is at the bottom of my blog. I use it alot and it's my favorite childhood picture!
Later I will be announcing the winner to my 200th post giveawey.....and tomorrow I will post a little tute on how to make these little busy bee aprons....so stay tuned!
Have a quilty kind of day!

You always come up with the cutest ideas! The bees are so perfect for your group. I just saw pictures of your day over on Rae Ann's blog.
Hey, it looks like I'm coming into town next week for the sewing day at Jackie's. See you soon!
I love, love, love......your blog...the bees, the aprons, the lawn chair pin cushions and most especially.....the music!!!!
How can I get your music on my blog????
Your bees are adorable! We're in apron mode here... my granddaughter made her first apron yesterday... fun! I might have to look for some adorable little bees and decorate one for her!
You're so funny! Those little bees are adorable. I can see that summer is just one big LONG party out there -- too fun!
Oh Lori..those are too darn cute! The aprons are the perfect touch to the busy little bees. You are so creative!
I have your blog card up on my inspiration board! I absolutely love it! Such a great idea!
Lori, you find the CUTEST little things! I must not be looking in the right places. These apronettas are adorable. Nothing like a busy bee in the hive :-)
Your creativity is AMAZING! I would never have thought of dressing up those cute little guys!
They are so cute Lori! Thanks so much for everything you did yesterday...and for taking my million phone calls! We did absolutely love our day...and Quilter's Haven was a great shop too! I'll be on your blog for awhile today showing LeeAnne your things!
Lori - you are so creative. I dropped by to tell you that I ordered three, maybe four, of your patterns day before yesterday. I am so excited I can't remember what I ordered! I am stalking the mail man. He thinks I am nuts, but that's okay. I just might be. I love you card/bookmark idea and the bees are so cute...how lucky your friends are. ~Kelly

Love your blogging cards! Your photo from your childhood is pricelss! Great worker bees!
Those are too cute! Your friends are so lucky! The chairs, tho have a special meaning to me. My grandparents had those chairs when I was little and I loved sitting in one under the tree with my grandpa.
Thanks for sharing your great idea!

Who did your cards Lori? They are so cute.
HA!~Adorable! If I weren't stuck on an island, I'd love to get out and find treasures!!! :)
How FUN! You know, I wondered if that was you in that pic! What a treasure! Your mama had the same sense of humor and creative eye that you do! :)
Love your bees! They are perfect now that they are properly dressed. :-)
I saw the bees on Nanette's blog. So cute, how you dressed them!
I love to visit your website. The hospitality you share is heartwarming. Thank you for sharing.
I never realized that the picture at the bottom of your blog is of YOU! I've looked at it dozens of times and always laughed/smiled because it's so hilarious/cute/charming!!! Now that I know it's you it's even more hilarious/cute/charming!! xo, Nan PS: Love the new fabrics, too!
I love mine. It is on my shelf in the sewing room but I'm going to move it to the entryway. It is so cute I want everyone that comes in my house to see it.
